I came across this in another forum, and I thought it was pretty cool for those who want to get a taste of what Baselworld is like. *not my pics or information*

I have been fascinated by the Ressence for some time. The Lehman watches interest me, too. Thanks for posting.

I can't imagine he'd mind at all - you just posted a link, not cribbed his words/pictures or anything like that.

:uplaugh: you won't have to dwell too long to sea which one I'll be leasing next.

Well, the SeaDweller is the best of the Rolex bunch, congrats!

The Ressence is a cool design, saw a video of one a while back, love the way the sub-dials rotate around the face.

I actually like the 'platinum' (Light) dark side of the moon, very readable. I just saw the black dark side of the moon in an Omega Boutique recently. I was disappointed. You couldn't really read the sub-dials with the glossy dial and polished hands, no contrast. I'm a sticker for readability I guess, especially on this iconic chrono.

Ressence looks pretty cool. Very unusual dial configuration. Different.

Also, I never comment on Rolex, but the Cellini is an interesting name for a watch. Benevento Cellini is an interesting choice. His Renaissance sculpture work is fabulous, but he was quite a character. I read his Autobiography many years ago and it was a surprising read.............. :shock:

Yes, the line introduced in 1975 is named after Benvenuto Cellini.

Yes. Thanks sharkman. I found it on their website after my post. Interesting person. I can't find the book anymore but I think it was called 'my life'.
